Objective To observe the short-term visual effects of cataract surgery patients with 1CU accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) compared with aspheric monofocal IOL. Design Non-randomed comparative trial. Participants Consecutively 118 senile cataract patients (118 eyes). Methods 59 cataract patients (59 eyes) were implanted 1CU accommodating IOL (1CU group), and 59 cataract patients (59 eyes) were implanted aspheric monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZA9003 group). All patients were assessed at 3 months post-operation in the aberrations of crystalline, the modulation transfer function contrast sensitivity of 10/100 percent in three sorts distance(40, 63, 100 cm), uncorrected distanced visual acuity(UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity(UCNVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), best-corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA), distance corrected near visual acuity(DCNVA), pseudo-accommodation, and the rate of off-near glasses. Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity, aberrations, modulation transfer function, contrast sensitivity, pseudo-accommodation, the rate of off-near glasses. Results At 3 months postoperatively, both UCNVA and DCNVA were significantly better in 1CU group than in the aspheric monofocal IOL group (t=8.85, P=0.00; t=13.05, P=0.00). The accommodative range was (2.58?0.37) D in 1CU group and (1.46?0.25) D in monofocal IOL group (t=14.33, P=0.00). In 3 mm and 5 mm pupil diameter the difference of the total aberration and spherical aberration in Tecnis ZA9003 group or 1CU group was significant (3 mm pupil t=18.48, P=0.00; t=5.70, P=0.00. 5 mm pupil t=19.98, P=0.00; t=6.70, P=0.00). At 40 cm and 63 cm, VA scores were higher in 1CU group (85%)than in Tecnis ZA9003 group (25%) (t=3.64, P=0.00; t=2.74, P=0.00; t=2.65, P=0.00; t=2.44, P=0.01). The rate of off-near glasses in 1CU group was better than in the aspheric monofocal IOL group(?2=41.95, P=0.00). Conclusions The 1CU accommodating IOL can provide better useful near visual acuity than aspheric monofocal IOL, especially for the patients who want to get rid of spectacles.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tooth wear on the morphological features of mandibular first molars. Methods:15 extracted mandibular first molars with tooth wear and 15 without wear were investigated. Data about the morphological features of tooth were collected through the general measurement and the image measurement by electronic meter. Results:①In non-tooth-wear group, mesiodistal width of tooth was greater than buccolingual width(P0.05); ②The vertical distance between the lowest point of pulp chamber roof and occlusal surface in non-tooth-wear group was greater than that in tooth-wear group(P05); ④The distance between distolingual pulp horn and distal proximal plane was greater than that between mesiolingual pulp horn and mesial proximal plane in both two groups(P0.05). Conclusion:For different parts of tooth, the effect of tooth wear differs. As for mandibular first molars, the distal part of occlusal surface and the buccal part of distal proximal plane are susceptible to tooth wear, which is mainly due to occlusal factors and the features of biomechanical system.

Objective To discuss the effects of Radix Hedysari flavonoids on microvessel density (MVD) of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis model rats, and provide evidence for its development. Methods SPF Wistar rats were divided into blank group, model group, prednisone group, and Radix Hedysari flavonoids high-, medium- and low-dosage group. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis model was established by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. From the second day after model established, each drug treatment group was administered with corresponding drugs intragastrically at different points in time for 14 and 28 days. MVD was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Neomicrovessel was increased significantly in pulmonary tissue of model rats of 14 days treatment, but slightly decreased in 28 days. MVD in 14, 28 days model group was significantly more than blank group (P<0.01). MVD in 14, 28 days Radix Hedysari flavonoids high dosage group was significantly less than model group (P<0.01). MVD in Radix Hedysari flavonoids medium-dosage group was between high-and low-dosage group, and MVD in medium-dosage group was similar with that in model group. Conclusion Radix Hedysari flavonoids could inhibit the formation of neomicrovessel in a dose dependent manner.
